Definitions

  • This invention relates to compositions comprising combinations of biological molecules from Neisseria bacteria, particularly N.meningitidis and N.gonorrhoeae.
  • Neisseria meningitidis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are non-motile, Gram negative diplococci that are pathogenic in humans.
  • Serogroups of N.meningitidis Based on the organism's capsular polysaccharide, 12 serogroups of N.meningitidis have been identified. Group A is the pathogen most often implicated in epidemic disease in sub-Saharan Africa. Serogroups B and C are responsible for the vast majority of cases in the United States and in most developed countries. Serogroups W135 and Y are responsible for the rest of the cases in the United States and developed countries.
  • the meningococcal vaccine currently in use is a tetravalent polysaccharide vaccine composed of serogroups A, C, Y and W135. Meningococcus B remains a problem, however.
  • the polysaccharide approach cannot be used because the menB capsular polysaccharide is a polymer of ⁇ (2-8)-linked N -acetyl neuraminic acid that is also present in mammalian tissue.
  • One approach to a menB vaccine uses mixtures of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) To overcome the antigenic variability, multivalent vaccines containing up to nine different porins have been constructed [ eg. Poolman JT (1992) Development of a meningococcal vaccine. Infect. Agents Dis. 4:13-28 ].
  • compositions comprising a first biological molecule from a Neisseria bacterium and a second biological molecule from a Neisseria bacterium.
  • biological molecule includes proteins and nucleic acids.
  • compositions may also comprise further biological molecules, preferably also from Neisseria, that is to say the compositions may comprise two or more biological molecules ( eg. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc .), at least two of which are from a Neisseria bacterium ( eg. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc .).
  • Such compositions include those comprising (i) two or more different Neisserial proteins, (ii) two or more different Neisserial nucleic acids, or (iii) mixtures of one or more Neisserial protein and one or more Neisserial nucleic acid.
  • the first and second biological molecules are from different Neisseria species (eg. one is from N.meningitidis and one is from N.gonorrhoeae ), but they may be from the same species.
  • the biological molecules in the compositions may be from different serogroups or strains of the same species.
  • the first biological molecule is preferably selected from the group consisting of SEQ IDs 1-8376. More preferably, it is selected from the group consisting of SEQ IDs 1-4002 and/or SEQ IDs 4057-8376. It is selected from SEQ IDs 4008-4033 i.e. the sequences from WO96/29412 . It is preferably a purified or isolated biological molecule.
  • the second biological molecule is preferably selected from the group consisting of SEQ IDs 1-8376. More preferably, it is selected from the group consisting of SEQ IDs 1-4002 and/or SEQ IDs 4057-8376. It is preferably a purified or isolated biological molecule.
  • first and second biological molecules may be a Neisserial biological molecule which is not specifically disclosed herein, and which may not have been identified, discovered, made available to the public or purified before this patent application was filed.
  • the invention provides a composition comprising one or more of the following pairs of first and second biological molecules (listed by SEQ ID): First Second 4008 1-4007 and 4009-8376 4009 1-4008 and 4010-8376 4010 1-4009 and 4011-8376 4011 1-4010 and 4012-8376 4012 1-4011 and 4013-8376 4013 1-4012 and 4014-8376 4014 1-4013 and 4015-8376 4015 1-4014 and 4016-8376 4016 1-4015 and 4017-8376 4017 1-4016 and 4018-8376 4018 1-4017 and 4019-8376 4019 1-4018 and 4020-8376 4020 1-4019 and 4021-8376 4021 1-4020 and 4022-8376 4022 1-4021 and 4023-8376 4023 1-4022 and 4024-8376 4024 1-4023 and 4025-8376 4025 1-4024 and 4026-8376 4026 1-4025 and 4027-8376 4027 1-4026 and 4028-8376 40 40
  • the invention includes each of the 35074500 possible pairs of SEQ IDs 1-8376 (1&2, 1&3, 1&4, 1&5 ... 1&8375, 1&8376, 2&3, 2&4, 2&5 ... 2&8375, 2&8376, 3&4 ... 1000&1001, 1000&1002 ... 1000&8376 ... 8374&8375, 8374&8376, 8375&8376) although, for reasons of space, these are not listed in full here.
  • SEQ IDs 1-8376 in the compositions of the invention may be supplemented or substituted with molecules comprising sequences homologous ( ie. having sequence identity) to SEQ IDs 1-8376.
  • the degree of identity is preferably greater than 50% ( eg. 65%, 80%, 90%, or more), and include mutants and allelic variants.
  • SEQ IDs 1-8376 in the compositions of the invention may be supplemented or substituted with molecules comprising fragments of SEQ IDs 1-8376.
  • Such fragments should comprise at least n consecutive monomers from the molecules and, depending on the particular sequence, n is either (i) 7 or more for protein molecules ( eg . 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 or more), preferably such that the fragment comprises an epitope from the sequence, or (ii) 10 or more for nucleic acid molecules ( eg 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 or more).
  • the mature form of the protein is preferably used.
  • the mature form of the NspA protein SEQ IDs 4008-4033; WO96/29412 ; Figure 1 ) lacking the signal peptide may be used.
  • SEQ IDs 1-8376 in the compositions of the invention may be supplemented or substituted with an antibody that binds to the protein.
  • This antibody may be monoclonal or polyclonal.
  • SEQ IDs 1-8376 in the compositions of the invention may be supplemented or substituted with nucleic acid which can hybridise to the Neisserial nucleic acid, preferably under "high stringency” conditions (eg . 65°C in a 0.1xSSC, 0.5% SDS solution).
  • nucleic acid in the compositions can take various forms ( eg . single stranded, double stranded, vectors, probes etc .).
  • nucleic acid includes DNA and RNA, and also their analogues, such as those containing modified backbones, and also peptide nucleic acids (PNA) etc .
  • the composition comprises molecules from different Neisseria species, such as one or more N.meningitidis molecule and one or more N.gonorrhoeae molecule.
  • the composition may comprise molecules from different serogroups and/or strains of the same species, such as strains A and B of N.meningitidis. Further embodiments comprise mixtures of one or more N.meningitidis molecules from different strains and also one or more N.gonorrhoeae molecules.
  • WO00/66741 includes a more detailed experimental analysis of conserved regions in these proteins. To ensure maximum cross-strain recognition and reactivity, regions of proteins that are conserved between different Neisserial species, serogroups and strains can be used in the compositions of the present invention. The invention therefore provides proteins which comprise stretches of amino acid sequence that are shared across the majority of Neisseria, particularly N.meningitidis and N.gonorrhoeae.
  • the composition comprises a protein comprising a fragment of a Neisserial protein (preferably a protein from SEQ IDs 1-8376, or more preferably SEQ IDs 1-4002), wherein said fragment consists of n consecutive conserved amino acids. Depending on the particular protein, n is 7 or more ( eg. 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 or more).
  • the fragment preferably comprises an antigenic or immunogenic region of the Neisserial protein.
  • a "conserved" amino acid is one that is present in a particular Neisserial protein in at least x% of Neisseria (or, preferably, in at least x% of combined N.meningitidis and N.gonorrhoeae strains).
  • the value ofx may be 50% or more eg. 66%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 95% or even 100% (ie . the amino acid is found in the protein in question in all Neisseria ).
  • a reference population e.g. 66%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 95% or even 100%.
  • a reference population e.g. 66%, 75%, 80%, 90%, 95% or even 100%.
  • Suitable definitions of "reference populations” can be found in WO00/66741 .
  • Amino acid sequences of different Neissieriae can easily be compared using computers. This will typically involve the alignment of a number of sequences using an algorithm such as CLUSTAL [ Thompson et al.
  • compositions according to the invention therefore include those comprising:
  • the invention also provides the compositions of the invention for use as medicaments ( eg . as immunogenic compositions or vaccines) or as diagnostic reagents. It also provides the use of the compositions in the manufacture of: (i) a medicament for treating or preventing infection due to Neisserial bacteria; (ii) a diagnostic reagent for detecting the presence of Neisserial bacteria or of antibodies raised against Neisserial bacteria; and/or (iii) a reagent which can raise antibodies against Neisserial bacteria.
  • the invention also provides a method of treating a patient, comprising administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a composition according to the invention.
  • the invention further provides a process for producing a composition according to the invention, comprising the step of bringing one or more of SEQ IDs 1-8376 into combination with one or more other of SEQ IDs 1-8376.
  • NspA protein is disclosed in WO96/29412 , and is represented herein as SEQ IDs 4008-4033.
  • the academic literature disclosure of this protein [ Martin et al. (1997) J. Exp. Med 185 1173-1183 ] reported the protein to be highly conserved between Neisseria strains (99% cross-reactivity of anti-NspA antibodies with 250 meningococcal A, B & C strains) and also efficient protection against deadly challenge with live bacteria.
  • NspA adsorbed on alum elicits serum meningococcal bactericidal antibody responses in rabbits and monkeys [Martin et al. (1998) Abstracts of 11th International pathogenic Neisseria conference, page 198].
  • rNspA recombinant NspA
  • the N.meningitidis strains tested in this example were isolated from patients residing in different countries over a period of more than 30 years (see Table A). These strains were selected to be representative of widely divergent 'clonal' groups, as defined by multilocus isoenzyme typing [ Seiler et al. (1996) Mol. Microbiol. 19:841-856 ] and/or multilocus sequence typing [ Maiden et al. (1998) PNAS USA 95:3140-45 ].
  • Strain M7 which is derived from strain NMB, contains a transposon insertion that blocks capsular polysaccharide biosynthesis [ Stephens et al. (1991) Infect. Immun. 59:4097-4102 ], but all the other strains are encapsulated.
  • PCR primers were designed and the NspA gene from strain 8047 was amplified.
  • rNspA pSK+ plasmid
  • a plasmid pTrc.NspA.1 encoding a protein in which a portion of the signal sequence has been replaced with a poly-histidine tag was also used.
  • Both plasmids were expressed in E.coli strain BL21(DE3) and the proteins were purified.
  • rNspA is secreted, rather than being associated with the outer membrane.
  • the protein was partially purified from the culture medium by precipitation with 55% w/v ammonium sulphate, and had an apparent MW of 18.6kDa, confirmed by Western Blot.
  • NspA The two forms of NspA (rNspA and denature His-tage NspA) were injected into 6-week old female CD-1 mice to raise antisera. The ability of these to bind to the surface of N.meningitidis strain B was determined using flow cytometric detection of indirect fluorescence assay [ Granoff et al. (1998) J.Immunol. 160:5028-36 ]. The results for strains NMB and M7 (an acapsulated mutant of NMB) are shown in Figure 2 .
  • anti-group B polysaccharide mAb SEAM-3 [Granoff et al .] only binds to the encapsulated strain, whereas the positive anti-P1.2 (PorA) control mAb binds to both strains.
  • the antisera raised against rNspA is able to bind both strains.
  • Antisera against the His-tag NspA gave negative results, however. These antisera were also negative for strains 8047, CU385 and M986 ( Figure 3A ), but by Western Blot these antisera gave positive results.
  • FIG. 3A shows that murine antibodies raised against rNspA bind to the surface of strain 8047 (the strain from which the nspA gene was cloned) and strain CU385, but not to M986.
  • Figure 3B shows similar negative results for strains BZ232, MC58, NG3/88 and NGP165. In all of these negative cases, however, the anticapsular mAb control was positive.
  • the nspA genes from five of the six negative strains (BX232, NG3/88, NGP165, M136 & M986) and from three of the positive strains (8047, CU385 & NG6/88) were sequenced.
  • the sequence for the sixth negative strain (MC58) was already available from the complete genome sequence.
  • the nspA sequences for all ten strains were highly conserved, varying at most by 5 nucleotides from the prototype sequence of Martin et al .
  • the most variant protein had only 3 amino acid differences (see Figure 1 ). With one exception, all of the amino acid variants involved the same respective residues in discrete segments of the protein. These include the signal peptide, which is not present in the mature protein, and two short segments in the 50 C-terminal residues. These differences do not explain the antisera results, as there are examples of identical variant sequences in strains that were positive and those that were negative (compare M136 & 8047; NGP165 & NG6/88; MC58 & CU385).
  • anti-rNspA to bind to the bacterial cell surface could be influenced by the amount of polysaccharide capsule present.
  • the quantity of capsular polysaccharide produced by the 17 test strains was therefore assessed by inhibition ELISA.
  • Extracts of capsular polysaccharide were prepared based on a method described by Corn et al. [J.Infect.Dis. (1993) 167:356-64 ]. Individual bacterial clones were grown to an OD 620 0.5-0.7 in 7 mL of Mueller-Hinton broth. Bacteria were collected by centrifugation at 5000g for 15 min, washed in 0.6mL of 10 mM Hepes, pH 8.0, and then resuspended in 0.6 mL of the same buffer containing 10 mM EDTA and incubated at 37°C for 1 hr.
  • the cells were pelleted at 10,000g for 1 minute and the relative amount of meningococcal B polysaccharide antigen released into the supernatant was determined by an inhibition ELISA, performed as described by Azmi et al. [Infect. Immun. (1995) 63:1906-13 ].
  • the solid phase antigen in the ELISA was meningococcal B polysaccharide-ADH-biotin absorbed to avidin-coated microtiter plates [Granoff et al .].
  • the meningococcal B polysaccharide-reactive human paraprotein LIP [Azmi et al .] was used as the primary antibody (0.2 ⁇ g/ml).
  • the complement-dependent bactericidal activity of the anti-rNspA antisera were tested using an assay similar to that described by Mandrell et al. [J. Infect. Dis. (1995) 172:1279-89 ].
  • the complement source was human serum from a healthy adult with no detectable anti-capsular antibody to group B polysaccharide and no intrinsic bactericidal activity against the test strain.
  • Serum bactericidal titres were defined as the serum dilution resulting in a 50% decrease in CFU/ml after 60 minutes incubation of bacteria in the reaction mixture, compared to the control CFU/ml at time zero.
  • bacteria incubated with a negative control antibody showed a 150-200% increase in CFU/ml during the 60 minutes of incubation.
  • the positive control antibody [anti-capsular IgG2a mAb SEAM 12, Granoff et al .] showed complement-mediated bactericidal activity against all 17 strains.
  • the six strains that were negative for anti-rNspA antisera binding by flow assay were resistant, showing no bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects.
  • test or control antibody positive control: anticapsular mAb; negative control: anti -E.coli .
  • blood specimens were obtained from the heart. Aliquots were plated onto chocolate agar, and CFU/ml was determined after overnight incubation at 37°C in 5% CO 2 .
  • the protective activities of the various co-administered antibodies were as follows: Antibody treatment Dose per rat or serum dilution Strain Blood culture Positive/ total CFU/ml (mean x10 -3 ) CFU/ml (% of control) Anticapsular mAb 2 ⁇ g M986 0/6 ⁇ 1 ⁇ 1 Anti-rNspA 1:5 M986 6/6 44 a 45 Anti-rNspA 1:25 M986 6/6 93 a 95 Anti- E.coli control 1:5 M986 6/6 98 a - Anticapsular mAb 2 ⁇ g 8047 0/5 ⁇ 1 ⁇ 1 Anti-rNspA 1:5 8047 1/6 0.2 b 2 Anti-rNspA 1:25 8047 1/5 0.4 b 4 Anti- E.coli control 1:5 8047 6/6 10 b - a p >0.5, compared to geometric mean CFU/ml of control rats b p ⁇ 0.001, compared to geometric mean
  • NspA does not seem to be effective in preventing meningococcal B infection.
  • Approximately one third of strains have decreased cell-surface expression of NspA epitopes when grown in vitro, are resistant to anti-NspA induced complement-mediated bacteriolysis, and are resistant to passive antiserum immunisation. These strains produce large amounts of capsular polysaccharide, and would thus be expected to have the greatest virulence.
  • the ability of a vaccine containing only NspA to confer broad protective immunity against meningococcal B thus has to be doubted.
  • compositions comprising NspA [SEQ IDs 4008-4033; Figure 1 ] therefore advantageously comprise further antigens.
  • a preferred aspect of the invention is thus a combination of NspA protein with one or more further Neisserial antigens.
  • NspA A model of the secondary structure of NspA is shown in Figure 4 , containing eight transmembrane ⁇ -strands and 4 surface-exposed connecting loops. This fits the pattern of alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids in NspA, which is characteristic of many ⁇ -barrel porins [ Weiss et al. (1990) FEBS Letts 267:268-272 ]
  • the grey shaded areas in the model indicate segments that are >40% identical and >70% similar to encoded amino acid sequences of opacity proteins (Opa) from N.meningitidis, N. gonorrhoeae, N. flavius, N. sicca, and H. influenzae identified in a BLAST search of the non-redundant GenBank CDS.
  • the alternating sequences are predicted amphiphilic ⁇ -strands; vertical segments correspond to transmembrane segments; the top of the figure corresponds to surface exposed segments, labelled as loops 1 to 4.
  • NspA the only significant homology between the deduced amino acid sequence of NspA and those of other proteins are weak homologies with the Neisseria opacity protein (Opa) family in two small segments ( ⁇ 20 amino acids) near the C-terminal end of the protein.
  • Opa Neisseria opacity protein
  • separate comparisons of the N- and C-termini of NspA with GenBank reveals a high degree of homology (>40 % identity and >70% similarity) between NspA and Opa proteins from N.meningitidis, N. gonorrhoeae, N. flavius, N. sicca, and H. influenzae .
  • the Opa proteins are thought to be integral membrane proteins that have eight transmembrane segments and a ⁇ -barrel topology in the membrane similar to that of porin [ Merker et al. (1997) Mol. Microbiol. 23:281-293 ].
  • the presence of NspA in detergent-insoluble membrane preparations indicate that NspA is located in the outer membrane, which would be consistent with the Opalike membrane topology shown in the model.
  • the segments of NspA that are most homologous to those of the Opa proteins are the putative transmembrane segments indicated in the shaded areas of Figure 4 .
  • the opacity proteins of Neisseria can, under certain circumstances, elicit protective antibody.
  • problems with limited antibody accessibility of the opacity proteins in encapsulated bacteria, variability of amino acid sequences in exposed loop segments, and phase variation of protein expression during clinical infection have limited the ability of Opa to elicit protective antibody consistently [ Malorny et al. (1998) J. Infect. Dis. 172:1279-89 ].
  • NspA which are highly conserved in N.meningitidis, may be important epitopes for antibodies that bind to native NspA. These segments of the molecule, therefore, would appear to be of greatest interest with respect to interacting with protective antibody.
  • the putative surface loops of NspA are relatively small (10-14 amino acids) compared to, for example, the highly immunogenic external loops of PorA and Opc (24 to 45 amino acids). The shorter length of the loops may limit the accessibility of NspA surface epitopes for binding interactions with serum antibody, especially in the presence of abundant capsular polysaccharide.
  • the invention provides the fragments of NspA that are exposed on the cell-surface in Figure 4 , namely SSSLGSAKG, NYKAPSTDFKLY, NRASVDLGGSDSFSQT, and NYIGKVNTVKNVRSG (SEQ IDs 8417-8420), and also provides corresponding fragments from allelic variants of NspA.
  • the invention provides sub-sequences of these fragments, comprising 7 or more contiguous amino acids from the fragments.
  • the invention further provides proteins comprising these fragments. Nucleic acid encoding these fragments and proteins is also provided.
  • NspA fragments, proteins comprising the fragments, and nucleic acid may be used in the compositions of the invention, in particular as substitutes for full-length NspA.
  • these fragments, proteins and nucleic acids may be used as products in isolation, that is to say they need not exclusively be used in combination with other biological molecules.
